Maybe you haven't installed Sql Server Management Studio, only Sql Server. Look for Sql Server Management Studio in the start menu and if it's not there then you'll need to install it.

It seems that you have not selected the Management Tools Options while installing the sql server.Check all client tools options with Management Tools option while installing.

Try to reinstall or repair your installation.

After completed your installation Press Windows+R and type SSMS then Press Enter.It will open SQL Server Management studio.
